the filipino-fication of masamune kadoya

for the last two years i've been in college for animation, wow! lots of trials have been thrown my way and this is not the first pitch of mine that hasn't gone through, but that's ok! the first time i had a pitch not go through, i got one in right after it. i just gotta keep at it :p

the rules and structure for the thesis projects my senior year have changed a lot compared to previous years, so despite having been a popular pitch among peers, i was not chosen </3.

although i wasn't chosen, to my surprise a lot of people told me they really liked it and hoped i would go indie with it! i've had friends, seniors, students of different animation majors, professors, and people i don't even know who want to help with the project! im still processing it, but their support means a lot to me. the friends i've made and the professors i've met during my college time have been amazing.

about which senior thesis i'll be working on, i'm super excited for it! my animation team and i basically all agreed to move to our back-up pitch that made it through, and we're in a really good spot right now! lots of work has to be done, but im super excited for it.

when im not working on the thesis project, i'll be working on this new indie film :p i've had professors congratulate me on this new opportunity and people reach out to me for more info. super excited to get more pre-production done over the next couple of months!

if anyone is interested, i'll be posting updates on the film's instagram account @ chasingthebeat.film :p yayy !!
